The public was invited to share their opinions regarding Ivan Juric, who is expected to become the new manager for Southampton. The following are some of the submitted comments: Ian expressed strong disapproval, stating, “What a shambles. Very little success anywhere. Never worked in England. A summer get out clause. They employ someone they are not sure of and he accepts. A really poor decision all round. Nonetheless let’s hope he proves me wrong.” Matt commented, “Time will tell. His record at Roma was appalling but these things happen. Looks like an initial six-month deal and for me it depends on how he gets the team playing. Can’t see anyone saving us but if he makes a good go at it then he may be the man to bring us back up. The risk here is the January transfer window. Do we stick or twist? Last time we wasted over £50m. Need to improve recruitment radically at the club. Major overhaul needed in that department.” Rob conveyed concern regarding the potential difference in playing style for the team compared to Russell Martin’s method. He added, “However he looks like a good manager and the deal, if as reported, looks like it makes sense. Could be the ideal solution.” Kevin stated, “This is exactly what we were dreading. An unknown without Premier League experience. They understood what we needed to get back into the Premier League. It doesn’t seem like they know how to keep us in it.” Andy questioned the appointment, remarking, “Who? Disappointed that it is not someone with Premier League experience but not surprised. Pleased if it is a short term contact for now and hope he has a magic wand as part of his skill set. I wish him luck.” Sandi Toksvig is joined by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi and Alan Davies Grab the mic for Queen, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry and more… Ben Fogle and Kate Humble are back for the festivities at Longleat Safari Park From micro plastics in our air, soil, and waterways, to the extent of food waste at this time of year © 2024 BBC.
